QTR-Quadtone RIP

Hi Scott, 
thanks for the reply; I have thought so, but couln't find curves for the Epson 
Premium Luster I have on the printer. On the Curves box of the QTR interface, 
there are otions for Epson's Enhanced Matte, UltraSmooth and Velvet FineArt, 
Hahnemulle PhotoRag, Moab Entrada and another one named "NoK-
EPhotoPaper", which I'm not sure for what paper it is. Do you, or anyone on 
the list, have suggestions about which curves would be more adequate for 
printing on Premium Luster on a UC7600 (using PK black)? 
Regards,
Paulo
